Beltane 2022: Announcing the May Queen
Partygoers will find their first stop via the waystone outside of the Golden Perch Inn. This shortcut into the Wilds deposits travelers at Harper’s Hearth, where the keepers have set out signature cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres to ease the wait.
Guests are encouraged to enjoy the refreshments but not miss their chance to board one of the carriages that will bring them further into the Wilds, and eventually to the Crystal Chasm. The paths the carriages follow have been lined with fairy lights, allowing glimpses into the dark wilderness and the spring flowers that bloom there in the shadow of ancient trees.
At the Crystal Caverns, the fairy lights give way to a single monolithic crystal summoned to the mouth of the caves for one night only. The stone glows with an inner light, illuminating the clearing outside the entrance to the caverns, and extending a short distance into the caves themselves where smaller crystals pick up the light and glitter at the edge of vision. The name of the May Queen will appear on the large crystal’s faces when the choice is made.
Desserts from Nicole’s Bistro are available at the Naming Ceremony, as are beverages from The Golden Perch Inn, and specialty coffee drinks from Endless Nights Cafe.
Desserts
Death by Chocolate ala Colleen
One of Colleen MacLeod's fudge brownies with chocolate chips, a scoop of chocolate ice cream topped with dark or milk chocolate flavored whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with chocolate shavings.
Tiramisu
Greek Baklava
Chocolate-Amaretto Semifreddo
Specialty Coffees
((The live event kicks off Friday, May 6th at 8 PM ET in the #crystal-chasm channel on Discord. The queen's name will be revealed at 9 PM ET. Feel free to post board only attendance, outfits, and other messages in this thread!))
